Supplee’s collection expands on the years of her life spent in the Grand Canyon. Picking up where her first book left off, this compilation exemplifies her work in the canyon from 2006-2015. It dives deeper into her relationship with the canyon, offering an intimate look into her artistic process. Each oil painting is paired with the original drawing and Supplee’s commentary that illuminates her own personal experience, as well as offering the history and geology that is so important to the canyon.
The book is divided into four separate chapters: Hangin’ on the Rim, Love a River Trip, Trail Travel, and Phantom Ranch. These chapters take the reader on an adventure from rim to river, and by Supplee’s hand experience the magic and awe.

BRIDGING NATURALLY (out of print)
Artist on the Colorado Plateau
Supplee’s booklet originated in 2014 while she was the Community Artist in Arches, Canyonlands, Hovenweep, and Natural Bridges. The booklet highlights the relationship not only between her and the landscape, but also the connection amongst the parks and monuments. She is interested in bridging these places that are considered their own separate entities but are, in actuality, connected.
Supplee’s mission as a Community Artist was to inspire passion in others for the land. She celebrates the joy and solace she found in the parks of her backyard, and invites the reader to love and protect this unique section of the Colorado Plateau.

INNER GORGE METAPHORS (out of print)
An Artist's Perspective of the Grand Canyon
Supplee’s debut book is a collection of 52 watercolor and oil paintings from the perspective of the Grand Canyon’s inner gorge. Spanning her time in the canyon from 2003-2005, Supplee considers the Colorado River a personal metaphor for her life path. Her colorful and energetic paintings illustrate her journey on the lifeblood of the Grand Canyon – floating through the canyon, encountering obstacles and challenges, experiencing joy and confronting fear, and finding surprises around each bend.
Each painting is expanded through poems Supplee wrote, taking the reader on a journey with the use of brushstrokes and words. This collection is not just about her time in the canyon but also a shared celebration to the wonder felt by all Grand Canyon travelers.
